Possible High Sugar Reaction? - Diabetes Message Board

Hi everyone, need some advice. I feel bad today. I am usually running low sugar-90 and below and get alot of hypoglycemia if I don't eat every few hours. I have gotten high blood sugar a few times, and I am under a doctors care and diet. Today I feel like I have high sugar-I feel like I'm coming down with something basically. I checked my sugar and its 131-which is normal but I never run over 90/100. I've been urinating every half hour and I'm thirsty beyond belief. Could this be a high sugar reaction for me considering I never run over 100? I feel like crap to put it bluntly. I felt the same way only more intensely when my sugar was 200. Should I go to the doctor or should I just wait and see what happens? Should I eat? Its about lunchtime now. I know I'm not supposed to, but I did have a few cookies this morning because there was nothing else available and I thought I should eat something rather than nothing. Argh! Help guys.

I am in IL, but we have had a virus and cold circulating here. My son went through whole 30 day supply of amoxicillin. Next doctor apt., put him
on this new antibiotic of zithromax. My daughter also
had this same bug and treatment. Lately, I have lost
my appetite, haven't cared about anything, and started
slipping off my diet. Couldn't figure out why. Well,
yesterday woke up with the scratchy throat, and sinus/allergy problems my kids had. I was coming down
with something, and did not know it. (I want to cheat
so bad and eat convenient stuff!) All I can say, is
look for signs of illness, test before and/or after
your meal. Also, maybe this next meal, sit down to
a nice serving of vegetables served with a little parsley, seasoning to go with the main stuff. Sit down
and enjoy, not rush through--20 minutes minimum. If your sugar is way too high 2 hrs. after eating, a call
to the doc may help.

MMmmm. Homemade chicken broth or soup sounds soo good!
(After 25 years of marriage and motherhood, where is
everybody? Gone for the day! They could be my
cooks!)

Oh Well!
